Message:

Commented out the BITNESS env var for Windows introduced in the previous commit and not using it in gsConvert.pl since Win can use XPdf's bin32 version of pdftohtml on 64 bit machines too. The lines determining and setting the BITNESS env var in gs2build\setup.bat are only commented out since setting BITNESS on Win may be useful in the future and we don't want to reinvent the wheel

-:: Want to know bitness of machine for working out whether to use xpdftools' bin32 or

+:: To know bitness (32 vs 64) of a Windows machine, the cmd is "SET Processor"
+::   and look through the lines of output for the line PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86
+::   or PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x64. See techgenix.com/aquicktiptocheckoperatingsystemarchitecture/
 :: The following runs the cmd "set Processor". Then, among the multiline output, it finds the line
